Han capital

This article is nonsense, and factually inaccurate. It's an article claiming the capital of the Han Dynasty lies in Guangzhou near Hong Kong. user:194.206.179.4's other edits have hardly adhered to a NPOV policy, and seem to be based upon promoting Cantonese above other Chinese dialects. Should be deleted. --Yuje 02:08, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Weak delete, I think information on the historical Chinese dynasty capitals is fair game, but that particular article is unreferenced and nigh-useless. --Veritol 04:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, nonsense. Megan1967 04:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete inaccurate - the capital of Former Han was Chang'an and the capital of Later Han was Luoyang. What is more Guangzhou is Canton. Guangdong is the province. --AYArktos 08:00, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I vote Delete, but only because I think this is a poor way to organize information about Chinese history. Do we need an article called "Capital of the United States between 1784 and 1790" that says "New York City was the capital from 1784 to 1790"? (I probably have the dates wrong, but you get my drift) ¶ On the other hand, the accuracy of the is article irrelevent. VfDs are not the way to correct inaccurate information. ¶ The author's other misdeeds are also irrelevent -- we should consider each VfD case on its own merits. There are other procedures for dealing with patterns of abuse. ---Isaac R 06:50, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
